Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions (CED)
A key driver of the economy, the Canadian tourism industry generated more than $100 billion in annual revenues before being hit hard by the pandemic. That is why the Government of Canada launched the Tourism Relief Fund (TRF), a $500M pan-Canadian initiative to help businesses and organizations in this sector overcome the impacts of the pandemic and position themselves for the future. The initiative, administered by CED in Quebec, ended on March 31, 2023.
Today, the Honourable Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Minister of Tourism and Minister responsible for CED, is announcing a total of $946,274 in financial contributions for 11 Côte-Nord tourism organizations that have received CED support under the TRF.
The recipient organizations are the Club du Lac des Baies, Pourvoirie des Grands Ducs, Expéditions Pirsuq, Station Uapishka, Auberge La Rosepierre, Coopérative de solidarité en tourisme équitable, Pourvoirie le Chenail du Nord, Noryak Aventures, Shore Grow, Pourvoirie Québec Nature, and Lac Holt Outfitters.
This announcement follows a series of strategic investments made by CED under this initiative; a report on the TRF was unveiled on June 28, 2023.
